Nicole Vaidisova is one of those players that had an enormous potential, but for some reasons they were unable to achieve something really great. The Czech shocked the tennis community when she decided to retire at 20 years of age after being ranked no.7 and reaching two Grand Slam semifinal. Nicole then got married with Stepanek, but the couple divorced after three years.
In 2014 Nicole announced she was trying to get back to pro-tennis, but after battling for two years, she decided to give it a miss.

Nicole released a statement as follows.
“This has been one of the hardest words for me to write. After months and months of thinking and agonizing about this, I have decided to retire from professional tennis. It has been one of my hardest and most emotional decisions of my life. As many of you know, I have been struggling with various injuries on/off for the better part of the last two years, and it has gotten to the point where I have spent more time in hospitals, physical therapy, and doctors offices than on the court, playing the sport I love. This has been painful and exhausting, not just on my body, but on my mind as well and I have reached the point where I did not want to put my body through it anymore. Coming to this final decision took me months, as even through all the ups and downs, it is a game I grew to love for what it is.”
Time to really move on now.
